1 Kings 5:6-10

6NowH6258 therefore, commandH6680 that they cutH3772 for me 1cedarsH730 from LebanonH3844, and my servantsH5650 will be with your servantsH5650; and I will giveH5414 you wagesH7939 for your servantsH5650 according to allH3605 that you sayH559, for you knowH3045 that thereH369 is noH369 oneH376 among us who knowsH3045 how to cutH3772 timberH6086 like the SidoniansH6722.”

7When HiramH2438 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of SolomonH8010, he rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966 and saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068 todayH3117, whoH834 has givenH5414 to DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 overH5921 thisH2088 greatH7227 peopleH5971.” 8So HiramH2438 sentH7971 word to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, “I have heardH8085 the message whichH834 you have sentH7971 me; I will doH6213 2whatH2656 you desireH2656 concerning the cedarH730 and cypressH1265 timberH6086. 9My servantsH5650 will bringH3381 them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220; and I will makeH7760 them into raftsH1702 to go by seaH3220 3to the placeH4725 whereH834 you 4directH7971 me, and I will have them brokenH5310 up thereH8033, and you shall carryH5375 them away. Then 5you shall accomplishH6213 my desireH2656 by givingH5414 foodH3899 to my householdH1004.” 10So 6HiramH2438 7gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 8as muchH3605 as he desiredH2656 of the cedarH730 and cypressH1265 timberH6086.
